Mortality and pulmonary complications in patients undergoing surgery with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection: An international cohort study
TL;DR: Postoperative pulmonary complications occur in half of patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection and are associated with high mortality, so thresholds for surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic should be higher than during normal practice, particularly in men aged 70 years and older.

Elective surgery cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic: global predictive modelling to inform surgical recovery plans.
TL;DR: In this paper, a global expert response study was conducted to elicit projections for the proportion of elective surgery that would be cancelled or postponed during the 12 weeks of peak disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Global guidance for surgical care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
TL;DR: In this paper, a scoping search was conducted to identify published articles relating to management of surgical patients during pandemics and key informant interviews were conducted with surgeons and anaesthetists with direct experience of working during infectious disease outbreaks, to identify key challenges and solutions to delivering effective surgical services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Effect of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on planned cancer surgery for 15 tumour types in 61 countries: an international, prospective, cohort study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the delivery of elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic in periods of lockdown versus light restriction, and found that light restrictions were associated with a 0·6% non-operation rate (26 of 4521), moderate lockdowns with a 5·5% rate (201 of 3646); adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0·81, 95% CI 0·77-0·84.
